Planned a long course starting on the north end of Birkdale, through Ainsdale and all the way down to the south of Formby, in the end only managed to get 3/4 of the way down Ainsdale, as I had to get back to the car park to get home. Good navigation practice and only had a few small mistakes, the largest of which could have been avoided by taking a compass.

shoes: Inov -8 O-Rocs
MEssed up 3,5 and 7, but only lost serious time on 7, while 3 and 5 were hestiation and not being confident of exactly where I was on the map. On 7 I got to the path and saw a saddle in the hill opposite me, so i worked out which one I thought it was and then navigated from there to the control, completely missing the warning sign of the stream that was in the next re-entrant over, and lost about 5 mins by running down this re-entrant and back up to the ride that led almost directly to the control. Without this mistake I could have been up with Lewis and Joe. Ended up 7th.
